@gruber re Siri AI saying “did you mean X, Y, or Z?”, you can actually just say, for example, “the second one” and it will pick Y. Very clever.

#PSA: if you have any #Shortcut automations on your #iPhone or #iPad, make sure you take a screenshot of them before upgrading to #iOS27. It’s likely they will disappear as the trigger mechanism has been rewritten to be part of each shortcut.

What an incredible idea - I’ll be looking out for opportunities to do this!

“…the $348m Te Ara Tupua cycling and walking path between Ngauranga and Petone.”

Queue all the complainers complaining about $348m spent on a “stupid cycling path”. What they don't realise is that this is actually rail corridor climate change risk mitigation with a path put on top. The cycle/walking use is just a happy outcome of necessary works.

Hello everyone! I’d like to welcome Mrs Donkey (@psychoticscroodlebum)
to the fediverse. She has recently been banned from Facebook for being nice. Apparently, that made her account look like a scammer.

I’ve been telling her how wonderful mastodon is so she decided to join today.

I’ll be giving her some pointers over the next little while, but please make her feel welcome. 🙏

Blast, the NZ store is already sold out. 😔

@BasicAppleGuy

Some interesting replies on this thread. I’d not heard of @vanillaos or @UniversalBlue before. Fascinating. Best of luck @vitskapsdama ! https://sunny.garden/@vitskapsdama/116302951783592140

Me to a major NZ software house, 2010: “Coding for only Internet Explorer is short-sighted. You need to code to industry web standards, not a particular browser - let people choose a browser that best suits their needs, which supports those standards.”

Me to the same software house, 2026: “Coding for only Google Chrome is short-sighted. You need to code to industry web standards, not a particular browser - let people choose a browser that best suits their needs, which supports those standards.”

This would be really interesting to know for the NZ market too, eh @jackyan ? We only ever get to see how many (most) of the top five selling "cars” are trucks…

It’s ironic that wearing glasses apparently makes you look smart, but you had to fail a test to wear them.
